Highway 99 is a stirring new album from Edmonds, WA-based artist Jess Grant, who crafts an array of classic-sounding rock that spans from heartland passion to moodier ruminations. Grant, who began writing songs in the ’70s and released his debut album in 1982, continues to show a penchant for high-quality, heartfelt songwriting throughout Highway 99, which represents his 18th independently released studio project. Amongst the album’s many standouts, “The Tower” is particularly magnetic for its fusing of twangy guitars and stately piano. The organ-laden “everybody has to take the stairs,” enamoring takes strong hold, as does the depictions of a
After captivating with 2024 debut full-length To Feel Is To Believe, Dutch singer-songwriter Martin Kuiper returns with the excellent five-song EP, Dreaming Of A Sea Of Time. The production expands his sonic palette — dynamic between dreamy intrigue and passionate rock heights — while staying true to his emotionally rich songwriting. From the introspective opener “Dreams,” where steady guitar strums and bluesy piano frame Kuiper’s reflections on memory and longing, to the Nick Drake-inspired warmth of “Hanging On a Pink Moon,” the EP threads lush soundscapes with emotional clarity. A grippingly introspective opener, “Dreams” weaves steady guitar strums and bluesy
“Golden” is a memorable new single from CABIN, enamoring in its twangy guitar expressions and ruminating vocal pining for “those good old days.” A relatable thematic pursuit takes hold — simultaneously lingering on warm doses of nostalgia whilst contemplating on fears of the future; the trials of adulthood are portrayed with clarity amidst a lo-fi garage-rock entrancement.

A melodic rock production charms in melding with lyrics that capture “past summers, future fears, and the golden
Oklahoma City-based band Blueprint Tokyo enthralls with a melodically memorable synth-laden rock appeal on new album Neon Circuits and the Mission of Hope. “This album is a mix of neon-lit nostalgia, hope, and the energy of a live show packed into 16 tracks,” says the act, who were responsible for one of 2024’s best EPs in Blue. Album opener “Say Anything” is enjoyably demonstrative of the project’s tendency for both atmospheric entrancement and hooky vigor. “We’ll keep the fire going,” a dreamy yet perseverant vocal rings out, complemented by a soaring enthusiasm that builds with momentum as sturdy guitars and
Two recent tracks from Dan Cousart enamor with a melodic rock immediacy, impressing on both the rock and new-wave intertwining of “Dancing in the Kitchen” and Strokes-esque hookiness within “You’re a Ghost.” The East Nashville, TN-based singer-songwriter and producer shows a penchant for replay-inducing songwriting. “Dancing in the Kitchen” commences with a grooving bass immersion, expanding into a blast of shimmering guitars and lush acoustic undercurrents. “It’s nice to begin again,” Cousart’s vocals let out with airy satiation, intensifying gradually into a synth-shimmering new-wave inspiration as the central hook takes hold. Meanwhile, “You’re a Ghost” channels early ’00s indie-rock nostalgia
